We rose early - 4:00 am for me - to finish packing, roll the beds neatly, put food items in vehicles. Bread-baskets, apples, Appy soft drinks, dry fruits - all in large quantities. Told Satya Swami photos, agreed! That was outside on the terrace, when You just came out. First, a group song, 'Hum ko tum se ...' You said, "Kitna? Itna" - signifying a small amount. But You quickly had the individual photos with us, though You were physically uncomfortable from the cold.

Then we got into two mini-buses at around 7:20. The convoy had around 15 vehicles. Breakfast halt was around 9:00 down the hill, at a guest-house. Then, onto Madurai. You zoomed ahead to the Chettiars' place, we went straight to the airport and reached there at 11:20. By 11:45 we were in the plane. You came by 11:50, and the take-off was at 12:00 noon. We reached Bangalore in around 50 minutes. You came down the aisle, looked at me! After You returned to Your seat and sat down, there was some turbulence. The air hostesses got sarees from You, and the food trays weren't cleared until landing!

Once at Bangalore, we went to Mr. Balram Nichani's house. You went in his Sonata, we followed in SSST buses. The drive took around 45 minutes, upto near Raj bhavan, Fairfields. Once we reached, You were in the (air-conditioned) first floor, we were in the second floor, having a lunch with 25 items! At 2:45, You indicated - "Go!" We were serenaded to the bus. Since we had to wait for the other bus also to come, it was 4:00 pm by the time we reached Brindavan, and You had already gone upstairs.
